Advice On Second Job Please
7 Answers
I currently work 17 hours per week, MOn - Thurs. I started this job in Dec 2012. This is my permanant job.
I have now found another casual 'as and when needed' job. My first job have told me i should have told them that I have a second job.
There is nothing in my contract to reflect this.
My current permantant employer has asked that I put it in writing that I have a second job.
there is nothing in my contract advising that i should inform them of a second job. SO how can they enforce this. Of course I will write to them as requested, but i am concerned they need to know this.
I was only under the impression that if i was working full time and i was to gain another job then i am under contract to inform my employer,but I didnt realise I had to inform them if I am employed with them partime.
WHy does my employer need to know this? I thought i can do what i please in my own time.
I have told my current permanent employer that my priority lies with them and not with my casual job, which is true.

Your 'contract' comprises (potentially) lots of small elements - some written down and some not (what are termed 'custom-and-practice'). But I would struggle to believe your employer claiming that this requirement was a c-and-p T&C.
What I'm saying is that your 'contract' isn't just the letter of engagement you (should have) had - it also comprises all the other correspondence the employer has written to you or made generally available from time-to-time. Something like this I would expect to find in the company handbook (if there is one), because I will guarantee that stuff in any company handbook does form part of your T&Cs.
It is very common for an employer to make such a provision on 2nd jobs, because they don't want an employee getting dog-tired by doing multiple jobs. The fact that your job is part-time generally doesn't make a difference, though if you are doing so few hours you could seek to claim that it was an unfair term.
So I would check your various bits of correspondence, and if you can't find anything then ask your employer nicely where precisely this T&C is covered because you can't find it. See what they come back with and post again.

yes there are tax implications but not insurmountable
and certainly not enough for the first employer to make trouble about it
see here

you may get more than one tax code (I am in this position so it was lucky I goggled it innit ? )
Cllearly you will have to keep an eye on your payslips and the amount they take away in tax.
